Executive Mansion,
Washington, April 11. 1864.

If Judge John C. Underwood will say in writing on this sheet that he personally knows Mrs. Keenan, and that he desires her & her little nephew to pass our lines and go to her father in Rockingham, Va, I will direct a pass to be given her accordingly.

A. LINCOLN
